In a move that has left fans stunned and the sports world reeling, Golden State Warriors power forward Stephen Curry has officially submitted his resignation letter to the team management, ending an era that redefined basketball in the Bay Area and beyond.
Curry, widely regarded as the greatest shooter in NBA history and a four-time NBA champion, delivered the shocking announcement just hours before the Warriors were set to face off against the Los Angeles Lakers in a high-stakes Western Conference clash.
In a hastily called press conference at Chase Center, Curry stood before a packed room of reporters and fans to read a brief but emotional statement.
“After much thought, prayer, and conversations with my family, I have made the incredibly difficult decision to step away from professional basketball,” Curry said. “This is not a retirement. This is a resignation from my current position, and it comes with a purpose that I will soon share.”
What followed was even more unexpected.
Curry hinted at a personal mission that would take him beyond the hardwood. Sources close to the 37-year-old star suggest that Curry is planning to dedicate his time to an international humanitarian project tied to youth education, clean water, and sports development in underprivileged regions across Africa and Southeast Asia.
The Warriors organization issued a formal response minutes after Curry’s announcement:
“We are heartbroken, but we respect and support Stephen’s decision. He is more than just the face of our franchise—he’s a cultural icon and a beacon of integrity. His legacy will live on in this organization forever.”
Fans gathered outside Chase Center to express their disbelief, with some in tears, holding banners that read “Once a Warrior, Always a Warrior” and “Thank You, Steph.”
While Curry’s resignation marks the end of an extraordinary chapter in Golden State’s dynasty, the man himself made one thing clear:
“This is not goodbye. It’s just a different kind of game I’m choosing to play now.”
More details are expected to emerge in the coming days regarding Curry’s next steps, and whether this decision will affect his future Hall of Fame induction or potential return in another capacity—possibly as a coach or executive.
